About
Robin Dymond, CST
Managing Partner
Innovel
I have been in the software industry for over 33 years after receiving a degree in Electrical Engineering. In 2002 I was hired as VP of Technology to help a struggling software company that was having challenges releasing their product and getting it to market.
As I began to dive into the challenges of the company and find a solution I realized that traditional project management wouldn’t work. That’s when I discovered Scrum and XP (eXtreme Programming) and realized these techniques would fit the rapidly changing customer requirements we were challenged with.
After discovering the power of Agile methods I started to apply them with my clients and employers with outstanding results. I worked as a consultant on the largest transition to Scrum in the financial services industry with Capital One.
As a Certified Scrum Trainer (CST) since 2008 I work with clients across North America and Europe providing training and consulting in Scrum, Product Management, Lean and Agile Transition & Adoption.
I've trained over 5,000 people from companies such as Capital One, Citibank, Wachovia, Sony, Dolby, Shaw Cable, AT&T Wireless AGFA, ThermoFisher Scientific, Travelocity and many others.
Rapid reprioritization of skills, resources, and employees is the new normal for successful organizations. Disruptions will continue to impact you at an increasingly difficult pace. Rather than flounder, you can flourish through uncertainty with Innovel’s Agile methodologies designed to help stabilize and scale growth across these industries:
• Manufactured Products
• Financial Services
• Healthcare IT
• Enterprise Software
• Telecom
• Government
• Defense
• Retail
• Engineering, Procurement, and Construction Management (EPCM)
• Aerospace
Whether you are already innovating with iterative quality improvement approaches (Agile, Kanban, Lean, other) – or just thinking about it – Innovel’s Agile Transformation coaching and training provides the Agile mindset your teams, leaders, executives, and stakeholders need.
If you’re an IT Director, Project Manager, CIO, VP of Technology, Software Developer or Product Manager and would like to learn more about how I can help you with Scrum Training & Agile Adoption email me at: [email protected]

Talk on Large Scale & Distributed Agile with Jurgen De Smet
What is a stew? A stew is made from various ingredients you have around, left overs, new ingredients that go together well, and others that are filling but need lots of sauce. The enterprise software market is made up of products that are a stew of software on many legacy platforms that have evolved over a long period by many hands. Taking an enterprise software product to Agile methods is a challenge. In a uniquely European context, this presentation will draw from the ongoing agile adoption in a multi-location multi-team enterprise product with 460 staff in 4 countries and 5 locations.

What I learned from burning my parents' house down!
Talk on Agile Coaching and how people respond to crisis and change with Yves Hanoulle.
July 1991 Yves' parents went on a holiday, leaving Yves (19 years old) to guard their house. 1 august 19 hour 36 minutes: Yves' parents house burns down. It was Yves' fault. And yet it was the best thing that happened to him till 2002. If you want to know why, come to our session. This interactive talk will show you why a crisis is a good thing. We make the link to agile transitions and how coaches can use a crisis. Why do people change? Do we consider their interests when making a change? This talk is based in part on the book A Sense of Urgency by change management expert John Kotter.AGILE 2009 8/24 Chicago Illinois
